Review of Baghead

Baghead (2008)
7/10
Humorous but predictable
7 July 2009
Matt and Chad, spurred on by the fact that Matt's friend Jett has actually made a film that's playing the indie circuit, while their careers are stagnant, decide to hunker down at a cabin in the woods to finally make a film. They bring Michelle & Catherine along, both having the hots for Matt, much to the chagrin of Chad (who has a crush on Michelle). While there Michelle claims to have had a dream about seeing a mysterious person with a bag on his head, which in turn gives Matt an idea for the film.

I don't really know if I can say that I enjoyed the film or not. On one hand it starts off well enough and the actors were all serviceable, it was humorous in spots, . and as an excersise in 'guerrilla film-making' it works sporadically. while on the other the big reveal is way too easy to surmise and the lack of any real ending with both two serious failings of the movie. I would hesitantly recommend the film for at least one viewing for fan of low-budget do it yourself type films, but all others could skip it without missing out on too much.

Eye Candy: Cass Naumann and Greta Gerwig both get topless

My Grade: C-

Where I saw it: Instant Netflix via Xbox 360
